Attention Winter Park Commercial Property Owners

April 20, 2010

It is my understanding that Winter Park commercial property owners have until May 14, 2010 to question the impact of the city’s Comprehensive Plan on their property values and uses.

Changes have also been made in the Land Development Code for both commercial and residential properties that warrant your review as a property owner.

As a result of the severe restrictions and controls added to the latest Comprehensive Plan several property owners are requesting a “Tolling” agreement with the city that extends this time period for appeal and review by one year on a property by property basis. You may wish to also take action to request a tolling agreement.

Here is a list of some of the properties whose owners are requesting the “Tolling” agreement:

1150 Solana Avenue
501-549 N. Virginia Avenue
310 – 326 S. Park Avenue
600 N. Knowles Avenue

You can review the “Tolling” agreement under consideration related to these properties in the Agenda Packet for the upcoming City Commission meeting on April 26, 2010.

I offer this information as a citizen who has expressed concerns about the recently changed Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code.

If you own commercial property in the City of Winter Park it is in your interest to understand the impact of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code on your property.
